The Global Video project was initiated in 2013 by the Swiss based aid organization EcoSolidar. The aim of the project is the exchange between youths from different countries and different social backgrounds. The exchange is created through the making of short films on a specific topic and the following exchange, discussion and commentation of the short films. It is an experience of an exchange at eye level that enables an insight in other realities – and a “new” view on one’s own and familiar life situation! An ideal basis for this type of exchange are already existing groups of kids and teenagers, such as schools or school classes.
